At Boma, our autumn flowering collection covers the full sweep of the season, from late summer into mid autumn. Japanese anemones deliver graceful white and pink flower spikes above clean, divided foliage, flowering from August through October. Sedum 'Autumn Joy' forms flat-topped flowerheads that progress from mauve pink to rich bronze as the season advances. For bold flower colour, New York Aster brings blue and purple tones, while Helenium offers bright yellow flowers and orange. All are beautiful flowers suited to a sunny spot or partial shade.

Many autumn perennials prefer well drained soil enriched with organic matter, though hardy sedums and grasses cope with poorer conditions. Planting from bare roots in early autumn allows establishment before winter, while pot-grown plants can go in throughout the season. Many autumn favourites — grasses, sedums, and asters — are best left standing after flowering, as their seed heads and foliage turns to bronze and amber, continuing to attract beneficial insects including bees and butterflies well into early winter.

Boma's autumn perennials selection extends beyond flowering plants to include foliage shrubs and ornamental grasses that carry your outdoor space through early winter and beyond. Euonymus brings brilliant leaf colour as foliage turns in October, while Pennisetum and Miscanthus grasses stand beautifully after the first frosts. As new growth emerges in early spring, the cycle continues with minimum intervention. Whether you're refreshing tired borders or building a garden blooming with colour from late summer through winter, our Kentish Town team can help.
